The Māori All Black coach Clayton McMillan has been appointed as interim head coach of the Chiefs for next year's Super Rugby campaign.
McMillan has signed a one-year contract with New Zealand to coach the Chiefs while head coach Warren Gatland leads the British and Irish Lions tour of South Africa.
McMillan will take up the role after he has completed his duties as director of rugby of Bay of Plenty in this season's Mitre 10 Cup.
He helped Bay of Plenty to the Mitre 10 Cup Championship title last year.
